Does dispositional envy predict depression severity in Ukrainian adults living in wartime?
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: Russia's war against Ukraine, which escalated in 2022, with related losses, injuries, and forced displacements, resulted in numerous mental health issues in Ukrainians, including a rise in the prevalence of depression. Researchers report various psychosocial factors that predict, mediate, or moderate depressive symptoms in Ukrainian adults facing war. However, among psychological factors, they focus mostly on resilience or wellbeing levels. In contrast, personality traits, including dispositional envy, were not explored enough. Methods: This study was organized as an online survey, which included a questionnaire on sociodemographic data, Dispositional Benign and Malicious Envy Scale (BeMaS), and PHQ-9 for depression assessment. 3,026 Ukrainian adults (52.2% males; 76.5% married) aged from 18 to 74 (M = 42.4, SD = 9.72) filled in the survey in January-March 2025. The TRIPOD checklist for prediction model development and validation was utilized for the transparency of this report. Results: Although dispositional malicious envy weakly correlated with depressive symptoms ( Conclusion: Dispositional envy type does not predict depression levels in Ukrainian adults during wartime. Generally, the role of envy in the development of depressive symptoms in crisis circumstances may be overrated.
